1.16 Managing Packages with the ZEN
Tools
The ZEN tools serve as graphical front-ends for the ZENworks Management Daemon
(zmd), allowing you easily to install or remove software, apply security updates, and
manage services and catalogs with just a few clicks.
1.16.1 Getting Permissions
Managing packages on a Linux system requires root privileges. The ZEN tools and
rug have their own user management system that allows users to install software up-
dates. When a user first invokes an action that requires special privileges in the ZEN
tools, a prompt for the root password appears. When the password has been verified,
The ZEN tools automatically add the user's account to the user management system
with update permissions. To review or change these settings, use the rug user manage-
ment commands (see Section "rug User Management" (Chapter 8, System Configuration
with YaST, ↑Deployment Guide) for information).
